Who folds the cubes
This catalog exists for one reason: Shashibo has grown into dozens of series, collaborations and forms, and it is easy to lose track of what is out there. We keep every cube, pack and flow toy from the brand's lineup in one tidy place, sorted by shelf, with the current price and real ratings beside each one.
How we pick what goes on the shelves
Everything listed comes from the brand's own storefront. When a design appears, it goes on the right shelf; when it disappears or loses its price, it comes off. We do not rank cubes by commission — the order follows popularity and series.
What we write
Product notes are written by us, from the listing details: magnets, shapes, forms and what makes each design different. Reviews on the home page are real buyer reviews, quoted word for word.
How the catalog is funded
When you press a buy button you go to the product listing to order. If you buy, the catalog may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That is what keeps the shelves dusted.
The inventor
Shashibo was invented by Andreas Hoenigschmid, a sand artist who spends his working hours on geometry and form. Inspired by that love of design, he set out to make a magnetic puzzle that anyone could pick up — all ages, all walks of life, even people who are vision-impaired.
Once he worked out how to magnetically join the pieces so they flow into each other, he knew the idea he'd been waiting for had arrived. That is still the rule of the fold today: if it doesn't flow, it doesn't go — you never need to force a Shashibo into a shape.
The artist behind Art Worx
Laurence Gartel, known as a pioneer of digital art for more than four decades, designed the Art Worx Gartel series of Shashibo cubes. His saturated, layered style is a natural fit for a canvas that keeps changing shape.
